95 points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate"The 2020s feel very elegant, and the 2020 Paso Las Mañas, which mentions the Paraje El Chorro in Samaniego where the vines are, is no exception. It has a very lively palate that is effervescent with...

92+ points Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateAs I've explained in previous vintages, this wine is produced with grapes from the Sierra Cantabria in the village of Ábalos, so the 2020 Pies Negros is another village wine, even if it won't get the...

93 points Wine Advocate"There's a little more ripeness and concentration in the 2020 Parajes, which matured in well-seasoned (at least fourth use) barriques and a 5,000-liter oak foudre. It's a little rounder and creamier, a more powerful wine (it was...

92 points Decanter Vinous Reverie NotesValdeorras is a DO created in 1945, on the eastern edge of Galicia, bordering Portugal. It is about 200km from the coast, with Atlantic and Continental climatic influences. This Godello is...

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The NV Amontillado del Duque VORS is Palomino of at least 30 years of age from the Tio Pepe solera. The color is dark amber, with a very powerful nose of old wood, candied fruit and walnuts. The sharpness of the...

90+ points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"I was less taken by the oak in the 2020 Altos de la Hoya, produced in a more commercial and mainstream way from ungrafted old Monastrell vines. But there's good fruit and depth here, a medium to full-bodied palate...

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2019s feel more vibrant than the 2020s, and the 2019 Teira X is a good example of it. This is the white where he tries to take Treixadura to the limit of ripeness and moderate acidity and then compensate it...

93 points Tim Aktin, MW"25-45 year-old bush vines of a Segovian Verdejo clone provide the grapes for the "entry" wine from Bodegas Naia. The nose is quite discreet and subtle but the palate reveals beautiful peach and apricot fruit, as well as some monte...

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"I tasted two very different vintages from the village red from Villadepera, the much warmer and drier 2017 and the radically different 2018. The 2017 Camino de los Arrieros, which is approximately 25% Juan...

92 points Wine & Spirits"A quiet wine, from the subtle hue of the color and the gentle mousse to the savory integration of the finish, this melds pale apple notes with mineral accents from the lees. It's a blend of trepat (80 percent) and garnacha,...

92 points Vinous"Light, amber-hued red. Pungent cherry, raspberry and floral aromas take on spice and smoky mineral nuances with air. Shows very good heft and chewy texture, offering sappy red berry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors and a hint of...
